Before the DuPage County Division of Transportation issues a highway permit for work inside a county road right-of-way — a driveway, utility crossing, or site improvement — it requires a performance bond, payable to the County of DuPage. The Division sets the bond at 110% of the engineer's probable cost estimate for the work, with county-set minimums. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the DuPage County highway permit bond actually guarantees
The DuPage County Division of Transportation conditions a highway permit — required for any work that touches a county road right-of-way, under the County's Right-of-Way Permit and Fee Ordinance — on a performance bond, payable to the County of DuPage. The bond backs the promise that permitted work will be completed and the right-of-way restored to the County's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and DuPage County (the obligee), with the traveling public and the County's road infrastructure as the protected party. If permitted work is left incomplete or the right-of-way is not properly restored, the County can draw on the bond to finish or repair it.
The Division sets the bond at 110% of the engineer's probable cost estimate for the work, based on your estimate of costs or contract quantities, subject to a $1,500 minimum for a single-family residential project and $2,500 for a commercial project. Enter the figure the Division confirmed; we price it from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
